A PASSION PASSED DOWN THROUGH GENERATIONS
DISCOVER THE FLY FISHING PARADISE
At Rancho Salvaje Safari, fishing is more than an experience—it is a passion that has been part of our family for generations. What began during Carlos Daniel Z’s childhood grew into a lifelong pursuit of Argentina’s most remarkable waters and has become one of the defining experiences we share with our guests.
Over the years, we have explored and fished throughout Argentina, personally discovering exceptional waters, remarkable fishing grounds, and destinations we believe offer something truly special.
Today, we share that knowledge with a select number of anglers each year. By accepting only a limited number of reservations, we are able to create highly personalized fishing programs with access to some of Argentina’s most exclusive and carefully selected destinations.
From the remote waters of Patagonia to some of the country’s most exciting dorado fisheries, every program is designed around exceptional fishing, authentic experiences, and the pursuit of Argentina’s most coveted species.
Welcome to Rancho Salvaje Safari.
PATAGONIA · SANTA CRUZ
LAGO STROBEL
In the heart of Argentine Patagonia, Lago Strobel is one of the world’s most coveted destinations for trophy rainbow trout.
Surrounded by remote landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and the vast wilderness of Santa Cruz, this extraordinary lake is home to some of the largest and most powerful rainbow trout in the world.
For passionate fly anglers, Lago Strobel offers a truly remarkable combination of trophy fishing, untouched nature, and the feeling of being somewhere few people ever experience.

SALTO GRANDE
Salto Grande offers one of Argentina’s most exciting fishing experiences: the pursuit of the legendary golden dorado.
Renowned for its strength, resilience, and explosive fights, the dorado is one of South America’s most coveted freshwater game fish. Access to these waters is limited, making the opportunity to fish Salto Grande an especially exclusive experience.
Rancho Salvaje Safari provides access to this remarkable destination for anglers seeking powerful fish, thrilling fights, and an unforgettable adventure on the water.
